For those of you who regularly visit our main website, this probably isn’t news anymore since our new layout has been online almost for a month now. But the complete redesign of Artinthepicture.com ofcourse merits a post on this blog as well.

The redesign of Artinthepicture.com is a work of young, Belgian graphic designer Joke Vermeiren, who I (not incidentally) talked about in a previous blog post. While it has become a dark theme with some interesting colorful eyecatchers, it was very important to give the art itself the star role. And I believe our designer certainly has succeeded very well at this balancing exercise.

Apart from the new design, we have also changed/added/deleted some things from the old website. The homepage of our website has been upgraded to become a real gateway to everything on our website. A special section on interesting artbooks has been added. On any artist page you know immediately see the most important thing this artist has to offer: the paintings. And we’ve added a search function at the top of every page for easier browsing.

We were long due for another unknown painter of the day (it was becoming more like an unknown painter of the year). But today we have for you this 2007 painting Cafe Horse Thief measuring 60x50cm. If you’d wish to learn more about the artist, you can always visit Hans Heiner Buhr’s website.
